Creek Road Miners, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Organization

 

Creek Road Miners, Inc. (formerly known as Wizard Brands, Inc., Wizard Entertainment, Inc., Wizard World, Inc., and GoEnergy, Inc.) was incorporated in Delaware on May 2, 2001. Prior to cryptocurrency mining operations that began in October 2021, the Company produced live and virtual pop culture conventions and events and sold a gelatin machine and related consumables (known collectively as “legacy operations”). All legacy operations were discontinued during 2021. The Company operates an eCommerce site selling pop culture memorabilia and will evaluate whether to continue the eCommerce operations in 2022.

 

Nature of Business

 

Cryptocurrency Mining

 

We currently generate substantially all our revenue through cryptocurrency we earn through our mining activities, which we may strategically hold or sell at beneficial prices and times. We currently mine and hold Bitcoin exclusively. We plan to hold our mined Bitcoin in excess of our operating and capital expenditure needs until the next halving event (expected to occur around March 2024), which we believe will lead to an increase in the market price of Bitcoin, other than for such sales of Bitcoin as determine to be necessary to fund operating or capital expenses, such as our purchase commitments for additional miners from Bitmain. While we do not have the intention of mining any other cryptocurrencies in the near future, we may expand our mining operations to include additional crypto assets if, after evaluation of the financial merits of such crypto assets based on a number of factors, including the anticipated profitability and price stability of such crypto assets and the ability and cost of our existing miners to mine for such digital assets, we determine that such additional crypto assets are reasonably likely to result in better margin than Bitcoin. Our mining operations commenced on October 24, 2021. We use special cryptocurrency mining computers (known as “miners”) to solve complex cryptographic algorithms to support the Bitcoin blockchain and, in return, receive Bitcoin as our reward. Miners measure their processing power, which is known as “hashing” power, in terms of the number of hashing algorithms solved (or “hashes”) per second, which is the miner’s “hash rate.” We participate in mining pools that pool the resources of groups of miners and split cryptocurrency rewards earned according to the “hashing” capacity each miner contributes to the mining pool.

 

Mining Equipment

 

All of the miners we operate were manufactured by Bitmain, and incorporate application-specific integrated circuit (“ASIC”) chips specialized to solve blocks on the Bitcoin blockchains using the 256-bit secure hashing algorithm (“SHA-256”) in return for Bitcoin cryptocurrency rewards. In October 2021 we put 156 Bitmain S19J Pro miners into production, and added another 84 into production in December 2021. In March 2022 we received 270 Bitmain S19 miners but as of March 31, 2022 they had yet to be placed into production. As of March 31, 2022, we had 240 Bitmain S19J Pro miners with 24 Ph/s of hashing capacity in production, we had received 270 Bitmain S19 miners with 24.3 Ph/s of hashing capacity not yet placed into production, and had deposits for an additional 870 miners with 111.1 Ph/s hashing capacity to be delivered in 2022 as follows:

 

  270 Bitmain S19J Pro (100 Th/s per miner, total 27 Ph/s hashing capacity) delivered in April 2022
  600 Bitmain S19XP (140 Th/s per miner, total 84 Ph/s hashing capacity) delivery expected July through December 2022
     

After the delivery of the miners above we will have a total of 1,380 miners with 159.3 Ph/s of hashing capacity.

 

The purchase commitment for undelivered miners as of March 31, 2022 totals $9,378,300, including $6,203,100 paid as deposits as of March 31, 2022, and the remaining $3,175,200 due to be paid monthly from the proceeds of the sale of earned Bitcoin during the year ending December 31, 2022 or, if necessary or advisable, with earned Bitcoin to the extent that the vendor accepts Bitcoin as a form of payment or from additional capital raising, which may be debt or equity, or a combination thereof pursuant to a private or public offering, with the last payment scheduled to occur on November 10, 2022.

Mobile Data Centers

 

We utilize mobile data centers to house our miners. Our mobile data centers are located close to natural gas wellheads. We use natural gas to power a mobile turbine that produces electricity that, in turn, is used to power our miners.

 

Mining Results

 

The Company measures its operations by the number and U.S. Dollar (US$) value of the cryptocurrency rewards it earns from its cryptocurrency mining activities. The following table presents additional information regarding our cryptocurrency mining operations:

 

   Quantity of Bitcoin   US$ Amounts 
Balance September 30, 2021      $ 
Revenue recognized from cryptocurrency mined   6.7    369,804 
Mining pool operating fees   (0.1)   (7,398)
Impairment of cryptocurrencies       (59,752)
Balance December 31, 2021   6.6   $302,654 
Revenue recognized from cryptocurrency mined   8.3    343,055 
Mining pool operating fees   (0.2)   (6,868)
Impairment of cryptocurrencies       (106,105)
Balance March 31, 2022   14.7   $532,736 
           

 

Factors Affecting Profitability

 

Our business is heavily dependent on the market price of Bitcoin. The prices of cryptocurrencies, specifically Bitcoin, have experienced substantial volatility. Further affecting the industry, and particularly for the Bitcoin blockchain, the cryptocurrency reward for solving a block is subject to periodic incremental halving. Halving is a process designed to control the overall supply and reduce the risk of inflation in cryptocurrencies using a Proof-of-Work consensus algorithm. At a predetermined block, the mining reward is cut in half, hence the term “halving”. For Bitcoin the reward was initially set at 50 Bitcoin currency rewards per block. The Bitcoin blockchain has undergone halving three times since its inception as follows: (1) on November 28, 2012 at block 210,000; (2) on July 9, 2016 at block 420,000; and (3) on May 11, 2020 at block 630,000, when the reward was reduced to its current level of 6.25 Bitcoin per block. The next halving for the Bitcoin blockchain is anticipated to occur in March 2024 at block 840,000, when the reward will be reduced to 3.125 Bitcoin per block. This process will reoccur until the total amount of Bitcoin currency rewards issued reaches 21 million and the theoretical supply of new Bitcoin is exhausted. Many factors influence the price of Bitcoin, and potential increases or decreases in prices in advance of, or following, a future halving is unknown.

 

We plan to hold our mined Bitcoin until the next halving event (expected to occur around March 2024), which we believe will lead to an increase in the market price of Bitcoin, other than for such sales of Bitcoin as determine to be necessary to fund operating or capital expenses, such as our purchase commitments for additional miners from Bitmain.

 

Government Regulation

 

Cryptocurrency is increasingly becoming subject to governmental regulation, both in the U.S. and internationally. State and local regulations also may apply to our activities and other activities in which we may participate in the future. Numerous regulatory bodies have shown an interest in regulating blockchain or cryptocurrency activities. For example, on March 9, 2022 President Biden signed an executive order on cryptocurrencies. While the executive order does not mandate any specific regulations, it instructs various federal agencies to consider potential regulatory measures, including the evaluation of the creation of a U.S. Central Bank digital currency. Future changes to existing regulations or entirely new regulations may affect our business in ways it is not presently possible for us to predict with any reasonable degree of reliability. As the regulatory and legal environment evolves, we may become subject to new laws and regulation which may affect our mining and other activities. For additional discussion regarding our belief about the potential risks existing and future regulation pose to our business, see the Section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods reflected. Except as noted, all adjustments contained herein are of a normal recurring nature. Results of operations for the fiscal periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year-end results.

 

Note 2. Going Concern Analysis

 

Historically, we have relied upon cash from financing activities to fund substantially all of the cash requirements of our activities and have incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow. The Company had net losses from continuing operations of $3,095,699, and $3,046,995, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We cannot predict if we will be profitable. We may continue to incur losses for an indeterminate period of time and may be unable to achieve profitability. An extended period of losses and negative cash flow may prevent us from successfully operating and expanding our business. We may be unable to achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. On March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.1 million and working capital of approximately $2.4 million.

 

We have evaluated the significance of these conditions in relation to our ability to meet our obligations, which has raised substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, the Company believes that the effects of the sale of its legacy operations during 2021, and the entrance into cryptocurrency mining operations that began in October 2021, will guide the Company in a positive direction as we continue to strive to attain profitability, but there is no absolute certainty that profitability can be achieved.

 

Additionally, if necessary, management believes that both related parties (management and members of the Board of Directors of the Company) and potential external sources of debt and/or equity financing may be obtained based on management’s history of being able to raise capital from both internal and external sources. However, although there have been recent external source financings, there is no absolute certainty that any such external source or related-party financing can be obtained in the future. Therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the matters discussed herein. While the Company believes in the viability of management’s strategy to obtain debt and/or equity financing, generate sufficient revenue, and control costs, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to obtain debt and/or equity financing, generate sufficient revenues, and to control operating expenses.

 

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying financial statements are consolidated and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

These estimates and assumptions include estimates for reserves of uncollectible accounts, accruals for potential liabilities, assumptions made in valuing equity instruments issued for services or acquisitions, and realization of deferred tax assets.

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions and at times may exceed the FDIC $250,000 insurance limit. The Company does not anticipate incurring any losses related to these credit risks.

 

Cryptocurrency

 

Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) is included in current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The classification of cryptocurrencies as a current asset has been made after the Company’s consideration of the significant consistent daily trading volume on readily available cryptocurrency exchanges and the absence of limitations or restrictions on Company’s ability to sell Bitcoin. Cryptocurrencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities are accounted for in connection with the Company’s revenue recognition policy disclosed below. Cryptocurrencies held are accounted for as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, which is measured using the quoted price of the cryptocurrency at the time its fair value is being measured. In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted. Cryptocurrencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities are included within operating activities on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are comprised of intangible assets and property and equipment. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. An estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by the asset, or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the carrying value to determine whether an impairment exists, pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 360-10 “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of”. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including a discounted value of estimated future cash flows and fundamental analysis. The Company reports an asset to be disposed of at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated net realizable value.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 9 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful lives of the related assets, or the lease term. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Management assesses the carrying value of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value.

 

Leases

 

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with the provisions of ASC 842, Leases. This standard requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend primarily on its classification as a finance or operating lease.

 

9

 

 

We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Right of use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term.

 

Our leases consist of leaseholds on office space. We utilized a portfolio approach in determining our discount rate. The portfolio approach takes into consideration the range of the term, the range of the lease payments, the category of the underlying asset and our estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. We also give consideration to our recent debt issuances as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics when calculating our incremental borrowing rates.

 

We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We recognize variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date, otherwise variable lease payments are recognized in the period incurred.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected.

 

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as we fulfill our obligations under each of our agreements:

 

  identify the contract with a customer;
  identify the performance obligations in the contract;
  determine the transaction price;
  allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
  recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company has entered into digital asset mining pools by executing contracts with the mining pool operators to provide computing power to the mining pool. The contracts are terminable at any time by either party and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power, the Company is entitled to a fractional share of the fixed cryptocurrency award the mining pool operator receives (less digital asset transaction fees to the mining pool operator which are recorded as a component of cost of revenues) for successfully adding a block to the blockchain. The Company’s fractional share is based on the proportion of computing power the Company contributed to the mining pool operator to the total computing power contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm.

 

Providing computing power in digital asset transaction verification services is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of providing such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contracts with mining pool operators. The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is noncash consideration, which the Company measures at fair value on the date received, which is not materially different than the fair value at contract inception or the time the Company has earned the award from the pools. The consideration is all variable. Because it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, the consideration is constrained until the mining pool operator successfully places a block (by being the first to solve an algorithm) and the Company receives confirmation of the consideration it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. There is no significant financing component in these transactions.

 

Fair value of the cryptocurrency award received is determined using the market rate of the related cryptocurrency at the time of receipt. There is currently no specific definitive guidance under GAAP or alternative accounting framework for the accounting for cryptocurrencies recognized as revenue or held, and management has exercised significant judgment in determining the appropriate accounting treatment. In the event authoritative guidance is enacted by the FASB, the Company may be required to change its policies, which could have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results from operations.

Reverse Stock Split

 

We implemented a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock that was effective on January 23, 2020. Unless otherwise noted, all share and related option, warrant, and convertible security information presented has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reduced number of shares, and the increase in the share price which resulted from this action.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock options, warrants and restricted stock to employees and non-employees for services, in capital raising transactions, and for financing costs. The Company accounts for share-based payments under the guidance as set forth in the Share-Based Payment Topic 718 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, officers, directors, and consultants, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. The Company estimates the fair value of stock option and warrant awards to employees and directors on the date of grant using an option-pricing model, and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in our Statements of Operations. We estimate the fair value of restricted stock awards to employees and directors using the market price of our common stock on the date of grant, and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in our Statements of Operations.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

On August 6, 2021, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Informa. Pursuant to the Agreement, Creek Road Miners Corp. (fka Kick the Can Corp.) sold, transferred, and assigned certain assets, properties, and rights to Informa related to the business of operating and producing live pop culture events. The Company released deferred revenue and other liabilities totaling $722,429 and recognized other income of this amount.

The related assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations in our consolidated balance sheets for the periods ending March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, are classified as discontinued operations. Additionally, the financial results associated with discontinued operations in our consolidated statement of operations for the periods ending March 31, 2022 and 2021, are classified as discontinued operations.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted net income per share if the exercise prices were lower than the average fair market value of common shares during the reporting period. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation when their effect is antidilutive. Basic and diluted earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders is the same for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, because the Company has only incurred losses and all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders at March 31, 2022 because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive are as follows:

As of December 31, 2020, the secured convertible debenture held by Barlock was convertible into 10,000,000 shares of common stock.

 

On October 31, 2021, in consideration for the release of senior security interest in certain of the assets, properties, and rights of discontinued operations that were sold during the year, the secured convertible debenture was amended to reduce the conversion price to $0.175, and the maturity date was amended to December 31, 2023.

The warrants contain anti-dilution provisions where, if the Company, at any time while the warrant is outstanding, sells or grants any option to purchase, right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue any common stock or common stock equivalents, at an effective price per share less than the exercise price then in effect, the exercise price shall be reduced, and the number of warrant shares shall be increased such that the aggregate exercise price payable hereunder, shall be equal to the aggregate exercise price prior to such adjustment.

 

On August 3, 2020, as a result of the anti-dilution provisions, the effect of repricing stock options held by directors and employees to $0.25 increased the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the series A common stock purchase warrants to 3,000,000, and decreased the exercise price to $0.25. As of December 31, 2020, Barlock Capital Management, LLC held series A common stock purchase warrants to acquire 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price to $0.25.

 

On October 31, 2021, as a result of the anti-dilution provisions, the effect of reducing the conversion price of the secured convertible debenture to $0.175 increased the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the series A common stock purchase warrants to 4,285,714, and decreased the exercise price to $0.175.

 

As of March 31, 2022, Barlock Capital Management, LLC held series A common stock purchase warrants to acquire 4,285,714 shares of common stock at an exercise price to $0.175.

 

In addition, the warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time until they expire. If at any time after the six month anniversary of the closing date there is no effective registration statement, or no current prospectus available for the resale of the warrant shares, then the warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, on a cashless basis at any time until they expire. Shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation, which may increase to 9.99% upon notice to the Company.

 

Upon issuance of the secured convertible debenture, the Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model and accounted for it using the relative fair value of $545,336 as debt discount on the consolidated balance sheet. Debt discount is amortized over the earlier of (i) the term of the debt or (ii) conversion of the debt, using the effective interest method which approximates the interest method. The amortization of debt discount is included as a component of interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations. There was unamortized debt discount of $0, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program Loans

 

On March 27, 2020 the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted and included a provision for the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to implement its Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”).

Funds received under the PPP may also be used to pay interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities. Subject to certain criteria being met, all or a portion of the loan may be forgiven. The loans bear interest at an annual rate of one percent (1%), are due two (2) years from the date of issuance, and all payments are deferred for the first six (6) months of the loan. Any unforgiven balance of loan principal and accrued interest at the end of the six (6) month loan deferral period is amortized in equal monthly installments over the remaining 18-months of the loan term.

Note 10. Contingencies and Commitments

 

COVID-19

 

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the responses that the Company, other businesses and governments are taking continue to evolve. Furthermore, capital markets and economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is possible that it could cause a local and/or global economic recession. Policymakers around the globe have responded with fiscal policy actions to support the healthcare industry and economy as a whole. The magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remain uncertain.

 

20

 

 

The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic and the extent and severity of the impact on the Company’s customers, service providers and suppliers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. As of the date of issuance of Company’s financial statements, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may in the future materially impact the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations is uncertain.

 

Russia – Ukraine Conflict

 

The Russia – Ukraine conflict is a global concern. The Company does not have any direct exposure to Russia or Ukraine through its operations, employee base, investments or sanctions. The Company does not receive goods or services sourced from those countries, does not anticipate any disruption in its supply chain and has no business relationships, connections to or assets in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. No impairments to assets have been made due to the conflict. We are unable at this time to know the full ramifications of the Russia – Ukraine conflict and its effects on our business.

 

Note 11. Common Stock Options

 

On May 9, 2011, the Company adopted the 2016 Incentive Stock Award Plan (the “2011 Plan”), on August 12, 2016, the Company adopted the 2016 Incentive Stock Award Plan (the “2016 Plan”), on August 3, 2020, the Company adopted the 2020 Stock Plan (the “2020 Plan”), and on December 1, 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Incentive Stock Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”), collectively (the “Plans”). The purpose of the Plans is to grant options to purchase our common stock, and other incentive awards, to our employees, directors and key consultants.

 

The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2020 Plan was 500,000. On December 1, 2021, all prior stock award plans were retired, and the 2021 Plan was adopted. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2021 Plan is 10,000,000. The shares of our common stock underlying cancelled and forfeited awards issued under the 2021 Plan may again become available for grant under the 2021 Plan. As of March 31, 2022, there were 3,000,000 shares available for grant under the 2021 Plan, and no shares were available for grant under the 2020 Plan, 2016 Plan, or 2011 Plan.

 

On August 21, 2020 the Board approved the repricing of the exercise price of outstanding stock options that had been issued to directors and employees to $0.25 per share.

 

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest, and recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

Note 13. Series B Preferred Stock Warrants

 

From March 2021 through December 2021, in connection with the issuance of Series B preferred stock, the Company issued (i) a warrant to acquire 5,000 shares of the Series B preferred stock at an exercise price of $1,000 per share of Series B preferred stock, which became exercisable immediately upon issuance and which expires on March 26, 2023; and (ii) a warrant to acquire 5,000 shares of the Series B preferred stock at an exercise price of $1,000 per share of Series B preferred stock, which became exercisable immediately upon issuance and which expires on March 26, 2024. If at any time after the 60-day anniversary of the closing date there is no effective registration statement, or no current prospectus available for the resale of the warrant shares, then the warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, on a cashless basis at any time until they expire. The Company can force the exercise of the warrants if the VWAP exceeds $3.75 per share per share for 20 consecutive trading days and the daily average trading volume of the Common Stock exceeds $100,000 in aggregate value for such period. The warrant holder may not be forced to exercise the warrant if such exercise would cause the holder’s beneficial ownership to exceed 4.9%.

 

The Series B preferred stock issuable upon exercise of the Series B preferred stock warrants are automatically convertible into shares of common stock at the Series B conversion price. Each share of our Series B preferred stock is convertible into a number of shares of our common stock determined by dividing the aggregate stated value for the Series B preferred stock being converted ($1,080 per share, as amended, subject to adjustment as set forth in the currently effective Series B Certificate of Designation) by the then-applicable conversion price (initially $1.50 per share), subject to adjustment as set forth in the currently effective Series B Certificate of Designation. As of March 31, 2021, in connection with the issuance of Series B preferred stock, there were outstanding warrants to acquire 10,000 shares of Series B preferred stock at an exercise price of $1,000, resulting in Series B preferred stock with a stated value of $10,800,000, and convertible into 7,200,000 shares of common stock, using a conversion price of $1.50.

However, the current policy of our Board is to retain earnings, if any, for our operations and expansion. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets which are legally available for distribution, after payment of or provision for all liabilities. The holders of our Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our Common Stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue.

 

We implemented a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock that was effective on January 23, 2020. Unless otherwise noted, all share and related option, warrant, and convertible security information presented has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reduced number of shares, and the increase in the share price which resulted from this action.

 

From August 2021 through October 2021, we consummated the transactions contemplated by the securities purchase agreement with the investors party thereto, pursuant to which, we generated net cash proceeds of $3,925,050, and issued in a private placement: (i) 2,933,340 shares of common stock for $1.50 per share and (ii) warrants to acquire 2,933,340 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, which became exercisable immediately upon issuance and with a term of 5 years. The issuance generated net cash proceeds of approximately $3.9 million.

 

On January 25, 2022, the Company granted an officer 30,000 shares of common stock as compensation under his employment agreement for services provided through December 31, 2021.

 

Note 15. Preferred Stock

Such dividend is payable in cash but may be paid in shares of Common Stock in our sole discretion if the shares of Common Stock are listed on a national securities exchange. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of our Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of our assets to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, for each share held, an amount equal to the Stated Value (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation), plus unpaid dividends, if any. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Aggregate Stated Value (initially $10.00 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the currently effective Series A Certificate of Designation) by the Conversion Price (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation), in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion, initially set at $0.25, and $0.175 as of March 31, 2021. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holder for the payment of cash by us to the holder equal to the Aggregate Stated Value of the shares that the holder elects to redeem. The Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to certain protective provisions and we may not take certain actions without the written consent of at least a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Series A Certificate of Designation to change the rights of the Series A Preferred Stock, create or authorize additional class or series of stock senior to the Series A Preferred Stock or create, authorize the creation of, issue or authorize the issuance of, any debt security which is convertible into or exchangeable for any equity security, if such equity security ranks senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends or liquidation rights.

 

On January 1, 2022, the Company granted an officer 7,722 shares Series A preferred stock for settlement of $77,216 in compensation under his employment agreement for services provided through March 31, 2022.

 

On March 31, 2022, we issued 3,409 shares of our Series A preferred stock to Scott D. Kaufman, our Chief Executive Officer, for settlement of $34,090 of compensation payable to Mr. Kaufman under his employment agreement from January 1, 2022 through March 31, 2022. In addition, on March 31, 2022 we issued 4,941 shares of our Series A preferred stock to Paul L.

Series B Preferred Stock

 

Holders of our Series B Preferred Stock have no voting rights. Holders of our Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a cumulative dividend on each share of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum, in cash or at the holders option, in fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series B Preferred Stock, at the Dividend Conversion Rate (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation). Such dividends are payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of our Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of our assets to the holders of Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation, and which includes the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock) by reason of their ownership thereof, for each share held an amount equal to the Stated Value (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation), plus unpaid dividends or liquidated damages, if any. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Stated Value, currently $1,080 as amended, by the Series B Conversion Price, subject to a minimum of $1.00, but not to exceed $1.50, subject to further adjustment in the event that the Company, subject to certain exemptions, disposes of or issues any Common Stock or securities convertible into, exercisable, or exchangeable for Common Stock for no consideration or for consideration less than the applicable Series B Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance. We are entitled to redeem some or all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock for cash in an amount equal to the Optional Redemption Amount (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation). The Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to certain protective provisions and we may not take certain actions without the written consent of at least fifty one percent (51%) in Stated Value of the outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Series B Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws that materially and adversely affects the rights of the Series B Preferred Stock, pay cash dividends or distributions on Junior Securities (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation), or repay, repurchase or offer to repay, or otherwise acquire more than a de minimis number of shares of Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation) or Junior Securities. Shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock are subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation.

 

From March 2021 through December 2021, we consummated the transactions contemplated by the securities purchase agreement with Leviston Resources LLC, pursuant to which, we generated net cash proceeds of $4,378,995, and issued in a private placement: (i) 5,000 shares of Series B preferred stock, convertible by dividing the stated value, currently $1,080, as amended, by the Series B conversion price; and (ii) a warrant to acquire 5,000 shares of the Series B preferred stock at an exercise price of $1,000 per share of Series B preferred stock, which became exercisable immediately upon issuance and which expires on March 26, 2023; and (iii) a warrant to acquire 5,000 shares of the Series B preferred stock at an exercise price of $1,000 per share of Series B preferred stock, which became exercisable immediately upon issuance and which expires on March 26, 2024. The Series B preferred stock issuable upon exercise of the Series B preferred stock warrants are automatically convertible into shares of common stock at the Series B conversion price.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, 1,532 shares Series B preferred stock had been converted into 1,188,456 shares of common stock.

 

As of March 31, 2022, there were 2,300 shares of Series B preferred stock outstanding resulting in Series B preferred stock with a stated value of $2,484,000, and convertible into 1,656,000 shares of common stock, using a conversion price of $1.50.

 

Series C Preferred Stock

 

Holders of our Series C Preferred Stock have no voting rights. Holders of our Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends on Series C Preferred Stock equal (on an as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock basis) to any dividends paid on Common Stock. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of our Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of our assets to the holders of Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) by reason of their ownership thereof, for each share held an amount equal to the Stated Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), plus fees, if any. The Series C Preferred Stock ranks junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to rights upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Stated Value, currently $1,111, by the Series C Conversion Price, subject to further adjustment in the event that the Company, subject to certain exemptions, disposes of or issues any Common Stock or securities convertible into, exercisable, or exchangeable for Common Stock for no consideration or for consideration less than the applicable Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance. We are entitled to redeem some or all of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock for cash in an amount equal to the Optional Redemption Amount (as defined in the Certificate of Designation). The Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to certain protective provisions and, without the written consent of at least 50.1% in Stated Value of the outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, we may not (or permit any of our subsidiaries to) enter into, create, incur, assume, guarantee or suffer to exist any indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the Certificate of Designation). Shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of Series C Preferred Stock are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation, which may increase to 9.99% upon notice to the Company.

During the month of April 2022, 940 shares of Series B preferred stock were converted into 753,697 shares of common stock.

 

Cancellation of Warehouse Lease

 

The commercial lease for 3,200 square feet of warehouse space at 16142 Wyandotte Street, Van Nuys, California 91405, expiring on May 1, 2025, was amended on April 11, 2022. The amendment advanced the expiration of the lease to April 30, 2022 for a payment of $20,450.

 

Extension of Agreement with ANEC

 

The Company extended its agreement with ANEC (a related party) through May 24, 2022 with no option for additional extension or renewal. Under the agreement originally signed on October 22, 2021, ANEC would: (i) allow the Company to moor a barge on the ANEC operations site with the Company’s mobile data center that houses cryptocurrency miners and a mobile turbine, and, (ii) supply natural gas to power a mobile turbine that produces electricity that, in turn, is used to power the miners. ANEC charges the Company for the amount of natural gas used based on the daily spot price of an unaffiliated third party, and a daily fee of $1,500 during the initial 90-day term, and $2,000 thereafter, for the use of their operations site to moor the barge. The agreement has an initial term of 90 days and continues on a month-to-month basis for 3 additional months. Either party may terminate the agreement at the end of the initial term, or at any time during the additional 3 months term by providing the other party 30-day notice. ANEC may terminate the agreement at any time under certain conditions.

 

Liquidation of Bitcoin Holdings

 

In May 2022 the Company liquidated all of its Bitcoin holdings. Approximately 17 Bitcoin were liquidated resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $532,000.

 

Decrease in Market Price of Bitcoin, and Increase in Cost of Natural Gas

 

Our business is heavily dependent on the market price of Bitcoin, which has experienced substantial volatility and has recently dropped to its lowest price since December 2020.  The market price of Bitcoin has dropped approximately 35% since the beginning of 2022. In addition, the cost of natural gas that we use to produce electricity to power our miners has increased substantially. The cost of natural gas has increased approximately 120% since the beginning of 2022.These price movements result in decreased cryptocurrency mining revenue and increased cryptocurrency mining costs, both of which have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

Company Overview

 

Creek Road Miners, Inc. (formerly known as Wizard Brands, Inc., Wizard Entertainment, Inc., Wizard World, Inc., and GoEnergy, Inc.) was incorporated in Delaware on May 2, 2001. Prior to cryptocurrency mining operations that began in October 2021, the Company produced live and virtual pop culture conventions and events, and sold a gelatin machine and related consumables (known collectively as “legacy operations”). All legacy operations were discontinued during 2021. The Company operates an eCommerce site selling pop culture memorabilia and will evaluate whether to continue the eCommerce operations in 2022.

 

On August 6, 2021, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Informa Pop Culture Events, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Informa”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Creek Road Miners Corp. (fka Kick the Can Corp.) sold, transferred, and assigned certain assets, properties, and rights to Informa related to the business of operating and producing live pop culture events. The Company released deferred revenue and other liabilities totaling $722,429 and recognized other income of this amount.

 

On September 15, 2021, we sold our wholly owned subsidiary which contained our Jevo assets and all rights to our Jevo operations for $1,500,000 and recognized a gain on the transaction of approximately $1,130,740.

 

Cryptocurrency Mining

 

We currently generate substantially all our revenue through cryptocurrency we earn through our mining activities, which we may strategically hold or sell at beneficial prices and times. We currently mine and hold Bitcoin exclusively. We plan to hold our mined Bitcoin in excess of our operating and capital expenditure needs until the next halving event (expected to occur around March 2024), which we believe will lead to an increase in the market price of Bitcoin, other than for such sales of Bitcoin as determine to be necessary to fund operating or capital expenses, such as our purchase commitments for additional miners from Bitmain. While we do not have the intention of mining any other cryptocurrencies in the near future, we may expand our mining operations to include additional crypto assets if, after evaluation of the financial merits of such crypto assets based on a number of factors, including the anticipated profitability and price stability of such crypto assets and the ability and cost of our existing miners to mine for such digital assets, we determine that such additional crypto assets are reasonably likely to result in better margin than Bitcoin. Our mining operations commenced on October 24, 2021. We use special cryptocurrency mining computers (known as “miners”) to solve complex cryptographic algorithms to support the Bitcoin blockchain and, in return, receive Bitcoin as our reward. Miners measure their processing power, which is known as “hashing” power, in terms of the number of hashing algorithms solved (or “hashes”) per second, which is the miner’s “hash rate.” We participate in mining pools that pool the resources of groups of miners and split cryptocurrency rewards earned according to the “hashing” capacity each miner contributes to the mining pool.

 

All of the miners we operate were manufactured by Bitmain, and incorporate application-specific integrated circuit (“ASIC”) chips specialized to solve blocks on the Bitcoin blockchains using the 256-bit secure hashing algorithm (“SHA-256”) in return for Bitcoin cryptocurrency rewards. In October 2021 we put 156 Bitmain S19J Pro miners into production, and added another 84 into production in December 2021. In March 2022 we received 270 Bitmain S19 miners but as of March 31, 2022 they had yet to be placed into production. As of March 31, 2022, we had 240 Bitmain S19J Pro miners with 24 Ph/s of hashing capacity in production, we had received 270 Bitmain S19 miners with 24.3 Ph/s of hashing capacity not yet placed into production, and had deposits for an additional 870 miners with 111.1 Ph/s hashing capacity to be delivered in 2022 as follows:

 

  270 Bitmain S19J Pro (100 Th/s per miner, total 27 Ph/s hashing capacity) delivered in April
  600 Bitmain S19XP (140 Th/s per miner, total 84 Ph/s hashing capacity) delivery expected July through December 2022

 

29

 

 

After the delivery of the miners above we will have a total of 1,380 miners with 159.3 Ph/s of hashing capacity.

 

The purchase commitment for undelivered miners as of March 31, 2022 totals $9,378,300, including $6,203,100 paid as deposits as of the period ending March 31, 2022, and the remaining $3,175,200 due to be paid monthly from the proceeds of the sale of earned Bitcoin during the year ending December 31, 2022 or, if necessary or advisable, with earned Bitcoin to the extent that the vendor accepts Bitcoin as a form of payment or from additional capital raising, which may be debt or equity, or a combination thereof pursuant to a private or public offering, with the last payment scheduled to occur on November 10, 2022.

 

Mobile Data Centers

 

We utilize mobile data centers to house our miners. Our mobile data centers are located close to natural gas wellheads. We use natural gas to power a mobile turbine that produces electricity that, in turn, is used to power our miners.

 

The Company measures its operations by the number and U.S. Dollar (US$) value of the cryptocurrency rewards it earns from its cryptocurrency mining activities. The following table presents additional information regarding our cryptocurrency mining operations:

 

   Quantity of Bitcoin   US$ Amounts 
Balance September 30, 2021   —     $—   
Revenue recognized from cryptocurrency mined   6.7    369,804 
Mining pool operating fees   (0.1)   (7,398)
Impairment of cryptocurrencies   —      (59,752)
Balance December 31, 2021   6.6   $302,654 
Revenue recognized from cryptocurrency mined   8.3    343,055 
Mining pool operating fees   (0.2)   (6,868)
Impairment of cryptocurrencies   —      (106,105)
Balance March 31, 2022   14.7   $532,736 

 

Factors Affecting Profitability

 

Our business is heavily dependent on the market price of Bitcoin. The prices of cryptocurrencies, specifically Bitcoin, have experienced substantial volatility. Further affecting the industry, and particularly for the Bitcoin blockchain, the cryptocurrency reward for solving a block is subject to periodic incremental halving. Halving is a process designed to control the overall supply and reduce the risk of inflation in cryptocurrencies using a Proof-of-Work consensus algorithm. At a predetermined block, the mining reward is cut in half, hence the term “halving”. For Bitcoin the reward was initially set at 50 Bitcoin currency rewards per block. The Bitcoin blockchain has undergone halving three times since its inception as follows: (1) on November 28, 2012 at block 210,000; (2) on July 9, 2016 at block 420,000; and (3) on May 11, 2020 at block 630,000, when the reward was reduced to its current level of 6.25 Bitcoin per block. The next halving for the Bitcoin blockchain is anticipated to occur in March 2024 at block 840,000, when the reward will be reduced to 3.125 Bitcoin per block. This process will reoccur until the total amount of Bitcoin currency rewards issued reaches 21 million and the theoretical supply of new Bitcoin is exhausted. Many factors influence the price of Bitcoin, and potential increases or decreases in prices in advance of, or following, a future halving is unknown.

 

We plan to hold our mined Bitcoin until the next halving event (expected to occur around March 2024), which we believe will lead to an increase in the market price of Bitcoin, other than for such sales of Bitcoin as determine to be necessary to fund operating or capital expenses, such as our purchase commitments for additional miners from Bitmain.

 

Our business is heavily dependent on the market price of Bitcoin, which has experienced substantial volatility and has recently dropped to its lowest price since December 2020.  The market price of Bitcoin has dropped approximately 35% since the beginning of 2022. In addition, the cost of natural gas that we use to produce electricity to power our miners has increased substantially. The cost of natural gas has increased approximately 120% since the beginning of 2022.These price movements result in decreased cryptocurrency mining revenue and increased cryptocurrency mining costs, both of which have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

 

Competition

 

Our business environment is constantly evolving, and cryptocurrency miners can range from individuals to large-scale commercial mining operations. We compete with other companies that focus all or a portion of their activities on mining activities at scale, including several public and private companies. We face significant competition in every aspect of our business, including, but not limited to, the acquisition of mining equipment, the ability to raise capital, and the ability to obtain the lowest cost energy to power our mining operations.

 

30

 

 

Government Regulation

 

Cryptocurrency is increasingly becoming subject to governmental regulation, both in the U.S. and internationally. State and local regulations also may apply to our activities and other activities in which we may participate in the future. Numerous regulatory bodies have shown an interest in regulating blockchain or cryptocurrency activities. For example, on March 9, 2022 President Biden signed an executive order on cryptocurrencies. While the executive order does not mandate any specific regulations, it instructs various federal agencies to consider potential regulatory measures, including the evaluation of the creation of a U.S. Central Bank digital currency. Future changes to existing regulations or entirely new regulations may affect our business in ways it is not presently possible for us to predict with any reasonable degree of reliability. As the regulatory and legal environment evolves, we may become subject to new laws and regulation which may affect our mining and other activities. For additional discussion regarding our belief about the potential risks existing and future regulation pose to our business, see the Section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Strategic Initiatives

 

Our objective is to mine and hold select cryptocurrencies. We seek to own multiple oil and natural gas producing assets and utilize the natural gas to power environmentally friendly, state-of-the-art cryptocurrency mining facilities. To achieve this aim, we are targeting between $10 million and $15 million of acquisitions of oil and natural gas producing assets in 2022. As of the date of this report, no discussions with natural gas producers have led to definitive agreements. We anticipate that we will fund any such acquisitions through the proceeds of the sale of earned Bitcoin, vendor financing, a private placement of the Company’s securities or a combination thereof. By directing income from oil and excess natural gas sales to cover operating expenses we will have the opportunity to retain our mined cryptocurrencies as assets.

 

We are also seeking to scale our existing operations through the purchase of additional miners. As of March 31, 2022, we had 240 Bitmain S19J Pro miners with 24 Ph/s of hashing capacity in production, we had received 270 Bitmain S19 miners with 24.3 Ph/s of hashing capacity not yet placed into production, and had deposits for an additional 870 miners with 111.1 Ph/s hashing capacity that we expect to be delivered in 2022. We anticipate paying the remaining commitments monthly from the proceeds of the sale of earned Bitcoin during the year ending December 31, 2022 or, if necessary or advisable, with earned Bitcoin to the extent that the vendor accepts Bitcoin as a form of payment or from additional capital raising, which may be debt or equity, or a combination thereof pursuant to a private or public offering. If received in the second half of the year, the Bitmain S19XP miners will allow us to mine more efficiently by operating at a higher hash rate while using the same amount of energy as our current miners.

 

We are aiming to achieve geographic diversity by locating up to six data centers at locations designed to mitigate concentration risk.

 

COVID-19

 

We are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the responses that we, other businesses and governments are taking continue to evolve. Furthermore, capital markets and economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is possible that it could cause a local and/or global economic recession. Policymakers around the globe have responded with fiscal policy actions to support the healthcare industry and economy as a whole. The magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remain uncertain.

 

The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic and the extent and severity of the impact on our customers, service providers and suppliers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. As of the date of issuance of our financial statements, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may in the future materially impact our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations is uncertain.

 

Russia – Ukraine Conflict

 

The Russia – Ukraine conflict is a global concern. The Company does not have any direct exposure to Russia or Ukraine through its operations, employee base, investments or sanctions. The Company does not receive goods or services sourced from those countries, does not anticipate any disruption in its supply chain and has no business relationships, connections to or assets in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. No impairments to assets have been made due to the conflict. We are unable at this time to know the full ramifications of the Russia – Ukraine conflict and its effects on our business.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. When making these estimates and assumptions, we consider our historical experience, our knowledge of economic and market factors and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ under different estimates and assumptions. The accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in this section are those that we consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying financial statements are consolidated and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company defines cash equivalents as all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. In all periods presented, cash equivalents consist primarily of money market funds.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is defined as the price at which an asset could be exchanged or a liability transferred in a transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or parameters are not available, valuation models are applied. A fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions.

 

The Company is required to use observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort. The Company has no fair value items required to be disclosed as of December 31, 2021 or 2020 under these requirements. The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

Transactions involving related parties typically cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. However, in the case of the secured convertible debentures due to related parties, the Company obtained a fairness opinion from an independent third party which supports that the transaction was carried out at an arm’s length basis.

Cryptocurrency

 

Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) is included in current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The classification of cryptocurrencies as a current asset has been made after the Company’s consideration of the significant consistent daily trading volume on readily available cryptocurrency exchanges and the absence of limitations or restrictions on Company’s ability to sell Bitcoin. Cryptocurrencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities are accounted for in connection with the Company’s revenue recognition policy disclosed below. Cryptocurrencies held are accounted for as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, which is measured using the quoted price of the cryptocurrency at the time its fair value is being measured. In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted. Cryptocurrencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities are included within operating activities on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are comprised of intangible assets and property and equipment. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. An estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by the asset, or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the carrying value to determine whether an impairment exists, pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 360-10 “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of”. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including a discounted value of estimated future cash flows and fundamental analysis. The Company reports an asset to be disposed of at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated net realizable value.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 9 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful lives of the related assets, or the lease term. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Management assesses the carrying value of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We account for revenue in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), (“ASC 606”). The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected.

 

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We apply the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as we fulfill our obligations under each of our agreements:

 

identify the contract with a customer;
identify the performance obligations in the contract;
determine the transaction price;
allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company has entered into digital asset mining pools by executing contracts with the mining pool operators to provide computing power to the mining pool. The contracts are terminable at any time by either party and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power, the Company is entitled to a fractional share of the fixed cryptocurrency award the mining pool operator receives (less digital asset transaction fees to the mining pool operator which are recorded as a component of cost of revenues), for successfully adding a block to the blockchain. The Company’s fractional share is based on the proportion of computing power the Company contributed to the mining pool operator to the total computing power contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm.

 

33

 

 

Providing computing power in digital asset transaction verification services is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of providing such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contracts with mining pool operators. The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is noncash consideration, which the Company measures at fair value on the date received, which is not materially different than the fair value at contract inception or the time the Company has earned the award from the pools. The consideration is all variable. Because it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, the consideration is constrained until the mining pool operator successfully places a block (by being the first to solve an algorithm) and the Company receives confirmation of the consideration it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. There is no significant financing component in these transactions.

 

Fair value of the cryptocurrency award received is determined using the market rate of the related cryptocurrency at the time of receipt. There is currently no specific definitive guidance under GAAP or alternative accounting framework for the accounting for cryptocurrencies recognized as revenue or held, and management has exercised significant judgment in determining the appropriate accounting treatment. In the event authoritative guidance is enacted by the FASB, the Company may be required to change its policies, which could have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results from operations.

 

Cryptocurrency Mining Costs

 

The Company’s cryptocurrency mining costs consist primarily of direct costs of earning Bitcoin related to mining operations, including mining pool fees, natural gas costs, turbine rental costs, and mobile data center rental costs, but exclude depreciation and amortization, which are separately stated in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

We implemented a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock that was effective on January 23, 2020. Unless otherwise noted, all share and related option, warrant, and convertible security information presented has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reduced number of shares, and the increase in the share price which resulted from this action.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We periodically issue stock options, warrants and restricted stock to employees and non-employees for services, in capital raising transactions, and for financing costs. We account for share-based payments under the guidance as set forth in the Share-Based Payment Topic 718 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, officers, directors, and consultants, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. We estimate the fair value of stock option and warrant awards to employees and directors on the date of grant using an option-pricing model, and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in our Statements of Operations. We estimate the fair value of restricted stock awards to employees and directors using the market price of our common stock on the date of grant, and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in our Statements of Operations.

 

Income taxes

 

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

On August 6, 2021, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Informa. Pursuant to the Agreement, Creek Road Miners Corp (fka Kick the Can Corp.) sold, transferred, and assigned certain assets, properties, and rights to Informa related to the business of operating and producing live pop culture events. The Company released deferred revenue and other liabilities totaling $722,429 and recognized other income of this amount.

 

On September 15, 2021, we sold our wholly owned subsidiary which contained our Jevo assets and all rights to our Jevo operations for $1,500,000 and recognized a gain on the transaction of approximately $1,130,740.

 

The related assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations in our consolidated balance sheets for the periods ending March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, are classified as discontinued operations. Additionally, the financial results associated with discontinued operations in our consolidated statement of operations for the periods ending March 31, 2022 and 2021, are classified as discontinued operations.

Going Concern Analysis

 

Historically, we have relied upon cash from financing activities to fund substantially all of the cash requirements of our activities and have incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow. The Company had net losses from continuing operations of $3,095,699, and $3,046,995, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We cannot predict if we will be profitable. We may continue to incur losses for an indeterminate period of time and may be unable to achieve profitability. An extended period of losses and negative cash flow may prevent us from successfully operating and expanding our business. We may be unable to achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. On March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.1 million and working capital of approximately $2.4 million.

 

We have evaluated the significance of these conditions in relation to our ability to meet our obligations, which has raised substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, the Company believes that the effects of the sale of its legacy operations during 2021, and the entrance into cryptocurrency mining operations that began in October 2021, will guide the Company in a positive direction as we continue to strive to attain profitability, but there is no absolute certainty that profitability can be achieved.

 

Additionally, if necessary, management believes that both related parties (management and members of the Board of Directors of the Company) and potential external sources of debt and/or equity financing may be obtained based on management’s history of being able to raise capital from both internal and external sources. However, although there have been recent external source financings, there is no absolute certainty that any such external source or related-party financing can be obtained in the future. Therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the matters discussed herein. While the Company believes in the viability of management’s strategy to obtain debt and/or equity financing, generate sufficient revenue, and control costs, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to obtain debt and/or equity financing, generate sufficient revenues, and to control operating expenses.

Working capital (deficit)  $2,377,154   $4,788,662   $(2,411,508)

 

As of March 31, 2022, we had working capital of $2,377,154, compared to working capital of $4,788,662 as of December 31, 2021, a decrease of 2,411,508. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in cash and in deposits on mining equipment.

 

Non-U.S. GAAP Measure – Adjusted EBITDA

 

In addition to our U.S. GAAP results, we present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), plus interest expense, other income (expense), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, income from discontinued operations, and gain on sale of discontinued operations. Management considers our core operating performance to be that which our managers can affect in any particular period through their management of the resources that affect our underlying revenue and profit generating operations that period. Non-U.S. GAAP adjustments to our results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

 

Set forth below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

 

   Three Months Ended March 31, 
   2022   2021   $ Change 
Net loss  $(3,089,095)  $(2,468,875)  $(620,220)
Add (deduct):               
Other income (expense)   (49,598)   224,092    (273,690)
Depreciation and amortization   164,520    4,955    159,565 
Stock based compensation   1,923,105    1,847,556    75,549 
Net income from discontinued operations   (6,604)   (578,120)   571,516 
Adjusted EBITDA  $(1,057,672)  $(970,392)  $(87,280)

 

37

 

 

We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA in developing our internal budgets, forecasts and strategic plan; in analyzing the effectiveness of our business strategies in evaluating potential acquisitions; and in making compensation decisions and in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, which includes, among others, the following:

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
   
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
   
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts; and
   
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not required.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For purposes of this section, the term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2022, the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

 

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of internal control over financial reporting can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.

 

38

 

 

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

In addition, our management with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have determined that no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Dear Alan,

 

American Natural Energy Corporation (ANEC) confirms receipt of $55,000 by wire transfer. While we still do not have the insurance documentation that Creek Road Miners, Inc. (Creek Road) is required to provide to us, and without waiving this requirement, ANEC will turn the gas back on tomorrow morning with the hopes that we can resolve that and other issues in very short order and conclude things amicably.

 

At this time, ANEC asks Creek Road to confirm its agreement to the following items:

  The current Gas Supply Agreement will end on May 24, 2022. There is no option for extension or renewal.
  The gas consumption invoices for the month of April will be provided to Creek Road the week of May 9th after ANEC receives final information from Shell. Creek Road will pay that invoice in a timely fashion.
  The gas consumption invoice for May will be provided to creek Road sometime in the middle of June after ANEC receives final information from Shell. Creek Road will pay that invoice in a timely fashion.

 

 

 

 

If the foregoing is agreeable to Creek Road, kindly sign and date this letter and return a copy to me by 5:00 p.m. MT on May 7, 2022. If you have questions or wish to discuss the foregoing, please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Sincerely,

Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Note 1. Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Organization

 

Creek Road Miners, Inc. (formerly known as Wizard Brands, Inc., Wizard Entertainment, Inc., Wizard World, Inc., and GoEnergy, Inc.) was incorporated in Delaware on May 2, 2001. Prior to cryptocurrency mining operations that began in October 2021, the Company produced live and virtual pop culture conventions and events and sold a gelatin machine and related consumables (known collectively as “legacy operations”). All legacy operations were discontinued during 2021. The Company operates an eCommerce site selling pop culture memorabilia and will evaluate whether to continue the eCommerce operations in 2022.

 

Nature of Business

 

Cryptocurrency Mining

 

We currently generate substantially all our revenue through cryptocurrency we earn through our mining activities, which we may strategically hold or sell at beneficial prices and times. We currently mine and hold Bitcoin exclusively. We plan to hold our mined Bitcoin in excess of our operating and capital expenditure needs until the next halving event (expected to occur around March 2024), which we believe will lead to an increase in the market price of Bitcoin, other than for such sales of Bitcoin as determine to be necessary to fund operating or capital expenses, such as our purchase commitments for additional miners from Bitmain. While we do not have the intention of mining any other cryptocurrencies in the near future, we may expand our mining operations to include additional crypto assets if, after evaluation of the financial merits of such crypto assets based on a number of factors, including the anticipated profitability and price stability of such crypto assets and the ability and cost of our existing miners to mine for such digital assets, we determine that such additional crypto assets are reasonably likely to result in better margin than Bitcoin. Our mining operations commenced on October 24, 2021. We use special cryptocurrency mining computers (known as “miners”) to solve complex cryptographic algorithms to support the Bitcoin blockchain and, in return, receive Bitcoin as our reward. Miners measure their processing power, which is known as “hashing” power, in terms of the number of hashing algorithms solved (or “hashes”) per second, which is the miner’s “hash rate.” We participate in mining pools that pool the resources of groups of miners and split cryptocurrency rewards earned according to the “hashing” capacity each miner contributes to the mining pool.

 

Mining Equipment

 

All of the miners we operate were manufactured by Bitmain, and incorporate application-specific integrated circuit (“ASIC”) chips specialized to solve blocks on the Bitcoin blockchains using the 256-bit secure hashing algorithm (“SHA-256”) in return for Bitcoin cryptocurrency rewards. In October 2021 we put 156 Bitmain S19J Pro miners into production, and added another 84 into production in December 2021. In March 2022 we received 270 Bitmain S19 miners but as of March 31, 2022 they had yet to be placed into production. As of March 31, 2022, we had 240 Bitmain S19J Pro miners with 24 Ph/s of hashing capacity in production, we had received 270 Bitmain S19 miners with 24.3 Ph/s of hashing capacity not yet placed into production, and had deposits for an additional 870 miners with 111.1 Ph/s hashing capacity to be delivered in 2022 as follows:

 

  270 Bitmain S19J Pro (100 Th/s per miner, total 27 Ph/s hashing capacity) delivered in April 2022
  600 Bitmain S19XP (140 Th/s per miner, total 84 Ph/s hashing capacity) delivery expected July through December 2022
     

After the delivery of the miners above we will have a total of 1,380 miners with 159.3 Ph/s of hashing capacity.

 

The purchase commitment for undelivered miners as of March 31, 2022 totals $9,378,300, including $6,203,100 paid as deposits as of March 31, 2022, and the remaining $3,175,200 due to be paid monthly from the proceeds of the sale of earned Bitcoin during the year ending December 31, 2022 or, if necessary or advisable, with earned Bitcoin to the extent that the vendor accepts Bitcoin as a form of payment or from additional capital raising, which may be debt or equity, or a combination thereof pursuant to a private or public offering, with the last payment scheduled to occur on November 10, 2022.

 

 

Mobile Data Centers

 

We utilize mobile data centers to house our miners. Our mobile data centers are located close to natural gas wellheads. We use natural gas to power a mobile turbine that produces electricity that, in turn, is used to power our miners.

 

Mining Results

 

The Company measures its operations by the number and U.S. Dollar (US$) value of the cryptocurrency rewards it earns from its cryptocurrency mining activities. The following table presents additional information regarding our cryptocurrency mining operations:

 

   Quantity of Bitcoin   US$ Amounts 
Balance September 30, 2021      $

Balance March 31, 2022   14.7   $532,736 
           

 

Factors Affecting Profitability

 

Our business is heavily dependent on the market price of Bitcoin. The prices of cryptocurrencies, specifically Bitcoin, have experienced substantial volatility. Further affecting the industry, and particularly for the Bitcoin blockchain, the cryptocurrency reward for solving a block is subject to periodic incremental halving. Halving is a process designed to control the overall supply and reduce the risk of inflation in cryptocurrencies using a Proof-of-Work consensus algorithm. At a predetermined block, the mining reward is cut in half, hence the term “halving”. For Bitcoin the reward was initially set at 50 Bitcoin currency rewards per block. The Bitcoin blockchain has undergone halving three times since its inception as follows: (1) on November 28, 2012 at block 210,000; (2) on July 9, 2016 at block 420,000; and (3) on May 11, 2020 at block 630,000, when the reward was reduced to its current level of 6.25 Bitcoin per block. The next halving for the Bitcoin blockchain is anticipated to occur in March 2024 at block 840,000, when the reward will be reduced to 3.125 Bitcoin per block. This process will reoccur until the total amount of Bitcoin currency rewards issued reaches 21 million and the theoretical supply of new Bitcoin is exhausted. Many factors influence the price of Bitcoin, and potential increases or decreases in prices in advance of, or following, a future halving is unknown.

 

We plan to hold our mined Bitcoin until the next halving event (expected to occur around March 2024), which we believe will lead to an increase in the market price of Bitcoin, other than for such sales of Bitcoin as determine to be necessary to fund operating or capital expenses, such as our purchase commitments for additional miners from Bitmain.

 

Government Regulation

 

Cryptocurrency is increasingly becoming subject to governmental regulation, both in the U.S. and internationally. State and local regulations also may apply to our activities and other activities in which we may participate in the future. Numerous regulatory bodies have shown an interest in regulating blockchain or cryptocurrency activities. For example, on March 9, 2022 President Biden signed an executive order on cryptocurrencies. While the executive order does not mandate any specific regulations, it instructs various federal agencies to consider potential regulatory measures, including the evaluation of the creation of a U.S. Central Bank digital currency. Future changes to existing regulations or entirely new regulations may affect our business in ways it is not presently possible for us to predict with any reasonable degree of reliability. As the regulatory and legal environment evolves, we may become subject to new laws and regulation which may affect our mining and other activities. For additional discussion regarding our belief about the potential risks existing and future regulation pose to our business, see the Section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Going Concern Analysis

Note 2. Going Concern Analysis

 

Historically, we have relied upon cash from financing activities to fund substantially all of the cash requirements of our activities and have incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow. The Company had net losses from continuing operations of $3,095,699, and $3,046,995, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We cannot predict if we will be profitable. We may continue to incur losses for an indeterminate period of time and may be unable to achieve profitability. An extended period of losses and negative cash flow may prevent us from successfully operating and expanding our business. We may be unable to achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. On March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.1 million and working capital of approximately $2.4 million.

 

We have evaluated the significance of these conditions in relation to our ability to meet our obligations, which has raised substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, the Company believes that the effects of the sale of its legacy operations during 2021, and the entrance into cryptocurrency mining operations that began in October 2021, will guide the Company in a positive direction as we continue to strive to attain profitability, but there is no absolute certainty that profitability can be achieved.

 

Additionally, if necessary, management believes that both related parties (management and members of the Board of Directors of the Company) and potential external sources of debt and/or equity financing may be obtained based on management’s history of being able to raise capital from both internal and external sources. However, although there have been recent external source financings, there is no absolute certainty that any such external source or related-party financing can be obtained in the future. Therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the matters discussed herein. While the Company believes in the viability of management’s strategy to obtain debt and/or equity financing, generate sufficient revenue, and control costs, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to obtain debt and/or equity financing, generate sufficient revenues, and to control operating expenses.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying financial statements are consolidated and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

These estimates and assumptions include estimates for reserves of uncollectible accounts, accruals for potential liabilities, assumptions made in valuing equity instruments issued for services or acquisitions, and realization of deferred tax assets.

 

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions and at times may exceed the FDIC $250,000 insurance limit. The Company does not anticipate incurring any losses related to these credit risks.

 

Cryptocurrency

 

Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) is included in current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The classification of cryptocurrencies as a current asset has been made after the Company’s consideration of the significant consistent daily trading volume on readily available cryptocurrency exchanges and the absence of limitations or restrictions on Company’s ability to sell Bitcoin. Cryptocurrencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities are accounted for in connection with the Company’s revenue recognition policy disclosed below. Cryptocurrencies held are accounted for as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, which is measured using the quoted price of the cryptocurrency at the time its fair value is being measured. In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted. Cryptocurrencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities are included within operating activities on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are comprised of intangible assets and property and equipment. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. An estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by the asset, or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the carrying value to determine whether an impairment exists, pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 360-10 “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of”. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including a discounted value of estimated future cash flows and fundamental analysis. The Company reports an asset to be disposed of at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated net realizable value.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 9 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful lives of the related assets, or the lease term. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Management assesses the carrying value of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value.

 

Leases

 

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with the provisions of ASC 842, Leases. This standard requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend primarily on its classification as a finance or operating lease.

 

 

We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Right of use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term.

 

Our leases consist of leaseholds on office space. We utilized a portfolio approach in determining our discount rate. The portfolio approach takes into consideration the range of the term, the range of the lease payments, the category of the underlying asset and our estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. We also give consideration to our recent debt issuances as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics when calculating our incremental borrowing rates.

 

We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We recognize variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date, otherwise variable lease payments are recognized in the period incurred.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected.

 

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as we fulfill our obligations under each of our agreements:

 

  identify the contract with a customer;
  identify the performance obligations in the contract;
  determine the transaction price;
  allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
  recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company has entered into digital asset mining pools by executing contracts with the mining pool operators to provide computing power to the mining pool. The contracts are terminable at any time by either party and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power, the Company is entitled to a fractional share of the fixed cryptocurrency award the mining pool operator receives (less digital asset transaction fees to the mining pool operator which are recorded as a component of cost of revenues) for successfully adding a block to the blockchain. The Company’s fractional share is based on the proportion of computing power the Company contributed to the mining pool operator to the total computing power contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm.

 

Providing computing power in digital asset transaction verification services is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of providing such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contracts with mining pool operators. The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is noncash consideration, which the Company measures at fair value on the date received, which is not materially different than the fair value at contract inception or the time the Company has earned the award from the pools. The consideration is all variable. Because it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, the consideration is constrained until the mining pool operator successfully places a block (by being the first to solve an algorithm) and the Company receives confirmation of the consideration it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. There is no significant financing component in these transactions.

 

Fair value of the cryptocurrency award received is determined using the market rate of the related cryptocurrency at the time of receipt. There is currently no specific definitive guidance under GAAP or alternative accounting framework for the accounting for cryptocurrencies recognized as revenue or held, and management has exercised significant judgment in determining the appropriate accounting treatment. In the event authoritative guidance is enacted by the FASB, the Company may be required to change its policies, which could have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results from operations.

 

 

Cryptocurrency Mining Costs

 

The Company’s cryptocurrency mining costs consist primarily of direct costs of earning Bitcoin related to mining operations, including mining pool fees, natural gas costs, turbine rental costs, and mobile data center rental costs, but exclude depreciation and amortization, which are separately stated in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

We implemented a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock that was effective on January 23, 2020. Unless otherwise noted, all share and related option, warrant, and convertible security information presented has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reduced number of shares, and the increase in the share price which resulted from this action.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock options, warrants and restricted stock to employees and non-employees for services, in capital raising transactions, and for financing costs. The Company accounts for share-based payments under the guidance as set forth in the Share-Based Payment Topic 718 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, officers, directors, and consultants, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. The Company estimates the fair value of stock option and warrant awards to employees and directors on the date of grant using an option-pricing model, and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in our Statements of Operations. We estimate the fair value of restricted stock awards to employees and directors using the market price of our common stock on the date of grant, and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in our Statements of Operations.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

On August 6, 2021, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Informa. Pursuant to the Agreement, Creek Road Miners Corp. (fka Kick the Can Corp.) sold, transferred, and assigned certain assets, properties, and rights to Informa related to the business of operating and producing live pop culture events. The Company released deferred revenue and other liabilities totaling $722,429 and recognized other income of this amount.

 

On September 15, 2021, the Company sold our wholly owned subsidiary which contained our Jevo assets and all rights to our Jevo operations for $1,500,000 and recognized a gain on the transaction of approximately $1,130,740.

 

The related assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations in our consolidated balance sheets for the periods ending March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, are classified as discontinued operations. Additionally, the financial results associated with discontinued operations in our consolidated statement of operations for the periods ending March 31, 2022 and 2021, are classified as discontinued operations.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted net income per share if the exercise prices were lower than the average fair market value of common shares during the reporting period. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation when their effect is antidilutive. Basic and diluted earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders is the same for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, because the Company has only incurred losses and all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders at March 31, 2022 because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive are as follows:

Funds received under the PPP may also be used to pay interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities. Subject to certain criteria being met, all or a portion of the loan may be forgiven. The loans bear interest at an annual rate of one percent (1%), are due two (2) years from the date of issuance, and all payments are deferred for the first six (6) months of the loan. Any unforgiven balance of loan principal and accrued interest at the end of the six (6) month loan deferral period is amortized in equal monthly installments over the remaining 18-months of the loan term.

COVID-19

 

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the responses that the Company, other businesses and governments are taking continue to evolve. Furthermore, capital markets and economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is possible that it could cause a local and/or global economic recession. Policymakers around the globe have responded with fiscal policy actions to support the healthcare industry and economy as a whole. The magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remain uncertain.

 

 

The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic and the extent and severity of the impact on the Company’s customers, service providers and suppliers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. As of the date of issuance of Company’s financial statements, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may in the future materially impact the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations is uncertain.

 

Russia – Ukraine Conflict

 

The Russia – Ukraine conflict is a global concern. The Company does not have any direct exposure to Russia or Ukraine through its operations, employee base, investments or sanctions. The Company does not receive goods or services sourced from those countries, does not anticipate any disruption in its supply chain and has no business relationships, connections to or assets in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. No impairments to assets have been made due to the conflict. We are unable at this time to know the full ramifications of the Russia – Ukraine conflict and its effects on our business.

Note 13. Series B Preferred Stock Warrants

 

From March 2021 through December 2021, in connection with the issuance of Series B preferred stock, the Company issued (i) a warrant to acquire 5,000 shares of the Series B preferred stock at an exercise price of $1,000 per share of Series B preferred stock, which became exercisable immediately upon issuance and which expires on March 26, 2023; and (ii) a warrant to acquire 5,000 shares of the Series B preferred stock at an exercise price of $1,000 per share of Series B preferred stock, which became exercisable immediately upon issuance and which expires on March 26, 2024. If at any time after the 60-day anniversary of the closing date there is no effective registration statement, or no current prospectus available for the resale of the warrant shares, then the warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, on a cashless basis at any time until they expire. The Company can force the exercise of the warrants if the VWAP exceeds $3.75 per share per share for 20 consecutive trading days and the daily average trading volume of the Common Stock exceeds $100,000 in aggregate value for such period. The warrant holder may not be forced to exercise the warrant if such exercise would cause the holder’s beneficial ownership to exceed 4.9%.

 

The Series B preferred stock issuable upon exercise of the Series B preferred stock warrants are automatically convertible into shares of common stock at the Series B conversion price. Each share of our Series B preferred stock is convertible into a number of shares of our common stock determined by dividing the aggregate stated value for the Series B preferred stock being converted ($1,080 per share, as amended, subject to adjustment as set forth in the currently effective Series B Certificate of Designation) by the then-applicable conversion price (initially $1.50 per share), subject to adjustment as set forth in the currently effective Series B Certificate of Designation. As of March 31, 2021, in connection with the issuance of Series B preferred stock, there were outstanding warrants to acquire 10,000 shares of Series B preferred stock at an exercise price of $1,000, resulting in Series B preferred stock with a stated value of $10,800,000, and convertible into 7,200,000 shares of common stock, using a conversion price of $1.50.

From August 2021 through October 2021, we consummated the transactions contemplated by the securities purchase agreement with the investors party thereto, pursuant to which, we generated net cash proceeds of $3,925,050, and issued in a private placement: (i) 2,933,340 shares of common stock for $1.50 per share and (ii) warrants to acquire 2,933,340 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, which became exercisable immediately upon issuance and with a term of 5 years. The issuance generated net cash proceeds of approximately $3.9 million.

 

On January 25, 2022, the Company granted an officer 30,000 shares of common stock as compensation under his employment agreement for services provided through December 31, 2021.

Under the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation, our Board is expressly granted authority to authorize the issuance from time to time of shares of preferred stock in one or more series, for such consideration and for such corporate purposes as our Board may from time to time determines, and by filing a certificate pursuant to applicable law of the State of Delaware to establish from time to time for each such series the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the designations, powers, rights and preferences of the shares of each such series, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof to the fullest extent permitted by the Certificate of Incorporation and the laws of the State of Delaware, including, without limitation, voting rights (if any), dividend rights, dissolution rights, conversion rights, exchange rights and redemption rights thereof.

 

 

Series A Preferred Stock

 

Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to the number of votes per share equal to 2,000 shares of Common Stock. Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a cumulative dividend on each share of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum on the Aggregate Stated Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation and Restatement of Rights, Preferences and restrictions of Series A Preferred Stock, the “Series A Certificate of Designation”) then in effect, payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1. Such dividend is payable in cash but may be paid in shares of Common Stock in our sole discretion if the shares of Common Stock are listed on a national securities exchange. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of our Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of our assets to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, for each share held, an amount equal to the Stated Value (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation), plus unpaid dividends, if any. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Aggregate Stated Value (initially $10.00 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the currently effective Series A Certificate of Designation) by the Conversion Price (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation), in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion, initially set at $0.25, and $0.175 as of March 31, 2021. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holder for the payment of cash by us to the holder equal to the Aggregate Stated Value of the shares that the holder elects to redeem. The Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to certain protective provisions and we may not take certain actions without the written consent of at least a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Series A Certificate of Designation to change the rights of the Series A Preferred Stock, create or authorize additional class or series of stock senior to the Series A Preferred Stock or create, authorize the creation of, issue or authorize the issuance of, any debt security which is convertible into or exchangeable for any equity security, if such equity security ranks senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends or liquidation rights.

 

On January 1, 2022, the Company granted an officer 7,722 shares Series A preferred stock for settlement of $77,216 in compensation under his employment agreement for services provided through March 31, 2022.

 

On March 31, 2022, we issued 3,409 shares of our Series A preferred stock to Scott D. Kaufman, our Chief Executive Officer, for settlement of $34,090 of compensation payable to Mr. Kaufman under his employment agreement from January 1, 2022 through March 31, 2022.

Series B Preferred Stock

 

Holders of our Series B Preferred Stock have no voting rights. Holders of our Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a cumulative dividend on each share of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum, in cash or at the holders option, in fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series B Preferred Stock, at the Dividend Conversion Rate (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation). Such dividends are payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of our Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of our assets to the holders of Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation, and which includes the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock) by reason of their ownership thereof, for each share held an amount equal to the Stated Value (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation), plus unpaid dividends or liquidated damages, if any. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Stated Value, currently $1,080 as amended, by the Series B Conversion Price, subject to a minimum of $1.00, but not to exceed $1.50, subject to further adjustment in the event that the Company, subject to certain exemptions, disposes of or issues any Common Stock or securities convertible into, exercisable, or exchangeable for Common Stock for no consideration or for consideration less than the applicable Series B Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance. We are entitled to redeem some or all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock for cash in an amount equal to the Optional Redemption Amount (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation). The Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to certain protective provisions and we may not take certain actions without the written consent of at least fifty one percent (51%) in Stated Value of the outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Series B Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws that materially and adversely affects the rights of the Series B Preferred Stock, pay cash dividends or distributions on Junior Securities (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation), or repay, repurchase or offer to repay, or otherwise acquire more than a de minimis number of shares of Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation) or Junior Securities. Shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock are subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation.

 

From March 2021 through December 2021, we consummated the transactions contemplated by the securities purchase agreement with Leviston Resources LLC, pursuant to which, we generated net cash proceeds of $4,378,995, and issued in a private placement: (i) 5,000 shares of Series B preferred stock, convertible by dividing the stated value, currently $1,080, as amended, by the Series B conversion price; and (ii) a warrant to acquire 5,000 shares of the Series B preferred stock at an exercise price of $1,000 per share of Series B preferred stock, which became exercisable immediately upon issuance and which expires on March 26, 2023; and (iii) a warrant to acquire 5,000 shares of the Series B preferred stock at an exercise price of $1,000 per share of Series B preferred stock, which became exercisable immediately upon issuance and which expires on March 26, 2024. The Series B preferred stock issuable upon exercise of the Series B preferred stock warrants are automatically convertible into shares of common stock at the Series B conversion price.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, 1,532 shares Series B preferred stock had been converted into 1,188,456 shares of common stock.

 

As of March 31, 2022, there were 2,300 shares of Series B preferred stock outstanding resulting in Series B preferred stock with a stated value of $2,484,000, and convertible into 1,656,000 shares of common stock, using a conversion price of $1.50.

 

Series C Preferred Stock

 

Holders of our Series C Preferred Stock have no voting rights. Holders of our Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends on Series C Preferred Stock equal (on an as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock basis) to any dividends paid on Common Stock. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of our Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of our assets to the holders of Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) by reason of their ownership thereof, for each share held an amount equal to the Stated Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), plus fees, if any. The Series C Preferred Stock ranks junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to rights upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Stated Value, currently $1,111, by the Series C Conversion Price, subject to further adjustment in the event that the Company, subject to certain exemptions, disposes of or issues any Common Stock or securities convertible into, exercisable, or exchangeable for Common Stock for no consideration or for consideration less than the applicable Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance. We are entitled to redeem some or all of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock for cash in an amount equal to the Optional Redemption Amount (as defined in the Certificate of Designation). The Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to certain protective provisions and, without the written consent of at least 50.1% in Stated Value of the outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, we may not (or permit any of our subsidiaries to) enter into, create, incur, assume, guarantee or suffer to exist any indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the Certificate of Designation). Shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of Series C Preferred Stock are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation, which may increase to 9.99% upon notice to the Company.

 

 

During December 2021, we consummated the transactions contemplated by the securities purchase agreement with the investors party thereto, pursuant to which we generated net cash proceeds of $7,733,601, and issued in a private placement: (i) 7,880 shares of Series C preferred stock, convertible by dividing the stated value, currently $1,111, by the Series C Conversion Price; and (ii) warrants to acquire 1,750,936 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, which became exercisable immediately upon issuance and with a term of 5 years; and (iii) warrants to acquire 1,750,936 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share, which became exercisable immediately upon issuance and with a term of 5 years.

 

On March 29, 2022, the Company offered 16 warrant holders replacement warrants with an exercise price of $1.50 per common share, in exchange for any warrants exercised at this time at the exercise price of $1.50 per common share. The issuance of replacement warrants has the effect of resetting the conversion price of all outstanding shares of Series C preferred stock to $1.50 per common share and resetting the exercise price of all outstanding warrants to $1.50 per common shares in instances where those conversion and exercise prices are above $1.50.

 

As of March 31, 2022, there were 7,880 shares of Series C preferred stock outstanding resulting in Series C preferred stock with a stated value of $8,754,680, and convertible into 5,836,453 shares of common stock, using a conversion price of $1.50.

Conversion of Series B Preferred Stock

 

During the month of April 2022, 940 shares of Series B preferred stock were converted into 753,697 shares of common stock.

 

Cancellation of Warehouse Lease

 

The commercial lease for 3,200 square feet of warehouse space at 16142 Wyandotte Street, Van Nuys, California 91405, expiring on May 1, 2025, was amended on April 11, 2022. The amendment advanced the expiration of the lease to April 30, 2022 for a payment of $20,450.

 

Extension of Agreement with ANEC

 

The Company extended its agreement with ANEC (a related party) through May 24, 2022 with no option for additional extension or renewal. Under the agreement originally signed on October 22, 2021, ANEC would: (i) allow the Company to moor a barge on the ANEC operations site with the Company’s mobile data center that houses cryptocurrency miners and a mobile turbine, and, (ii) supply natural gas to power a mobile turbine that produces electricity that, in turn, is used to power the miners. ANEC charges the Company for the amount of natural gas used based on the daily spot price of an unaffiliated third party, and a daily fee of $1,500 during the initial 90-day term, and $2,000 thereafter, for the use of their operations site to moor the barge. The agreement has an initial term of 90 days and continues on a month-to-month basis for 3 additional months. Either party may terminate the agreement at the end of the initial term, or at any time during the additional 3 months term by providing the other party 30-day notice. ANEC may terminate the agreement at any time under certain conditions.

 

Liquidation of Bitcoin Holdings

 

In May 2022 the Company liquidated all of its Bitcoin holdings. Approximately 17 Bitcoin were liquidated resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $532,000.

 

Decrease in Market Price of Bitcoin, and Increase in Cost of Natural Gas

 

Our business is heavily dependent on the market price of Bitcoin, which has experienced substantial volatility and has recently dropped to its lowest price since December 2020.  The market price of Bitcoin has dropped approximately 35% since the beginning of 2022. In addition, the cost of natural gas that we use to produce electricity to power our miners has increased substantially. The cost of natural gas has increased approximately 120% since the beginning of 2022.These price movements result in decreased cryptocurrency mining revenue and increased cryptocurrency mining costs, both of which have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
3 Months Ended
Mar. 31, 2022
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying financial statements are consolidated and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

These estimates and assumptions include estimates for reserves of uncollectible accounts, accruals for potential liabilities, assumptions made in valuing equity instruments issued for services or acquisitions, and realization of deferred tax assets.

 

 

Reclassification

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions and at times may exceed the FDIC $250,000 insurance limit. The Company does not anticipate incurring any losses related to these credit risks.

 

Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency

 

Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) is included in current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The classification of cryptocurrencies as a current asset has been made after the Company’s consideration of the significant consistent daily trading volume on readily available cryptocurrency exchanges and the absence of limitations or restrictions on Company’s ability to sell Bitcoin. Cryptocurrencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities are accounted for in connection with the Company’s revenue recognition policy disclosed below. Cryptocurrencies held are accounted for as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, which is measured using the quoted price of the cryptocurrency at the time its fair value is being measured. In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted. Cryptocurrencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities are included within operating activities on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are comprised of intangible assets and property and equipment. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. An estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by the asset, or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the carrying value to determine whether an impairment exists, pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 360-10 “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of”. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including a discounted value of estimated future cash flows and fundamental analysis. The Company reports an asset to be disposed of at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated net realizable value.

 

Property and equipment

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 9 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful lives of the related assets, or the lease term. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Management assesses the carrying value of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value.

 

Leases

Leases

 

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with the provisions of ASC 842, Leases. This standard requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend primarily on its classification as a finance or operating lease.

 

 

We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Right of use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term.

 

Our leases consist of leaseholds on office space. We utilized a portfolio approach in determining our discount rate. The portfolio approach takes into consideration the range of the term, the range of the lease payments, the category of the underlying asset and our estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. We also give consideration to our recent debt issuances as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics when calculating our incremental borrowing rates.

 

We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We recognize variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date, otherwise variable lease payments are recognized in the period incurred.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected.

 

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as we fulfill our obligations under each of our agreements:

 

  identify the contract with a customer;
  identify the performance obligations in the contract;
  determine the transaction price;
  allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
  recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company has entered into digital asset mining pools by executing contracts with the mining pool operators to provide computing power to the mining pool. The contracts are terminable at any time by either party and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power, the Company is entitled to a fractional share of the fixed cryptocurrency award the mining pool operator receives (less digital asset transaction fees to the mining pool operator which are recorded as a component of cost of revenues) for successfully adding a block to the blockchain. The Company’s fractional share is based on the proportion of computing power the Company contributed to the mining pool operator to the total computing power contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm.

 

Providing computing power in digital asset transaction verification services is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of providing such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contracts with mining pool operators. The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is noncash consideration, which the Company measures at fair value on the date received, which is not materially different than the fair value at contract inception or the time the Company has earned the award from the pools. The consideration is all variable. Because it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, the consideration is constrained until the mining pool operator successfully places a block (by being the first to solve an algorithm) and the Company receives confirmation of the consideration it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. There is no significant financing component in these transactions.

 

Fair value of the cryptocurrency award received is determined using the market rate of the related cryptocurrency at the time of receipt. There is currently no specific definitive guidance under GAAP or alternative accounting framework for the accounting for cryptocurrencies recognized as revenue or held, and management has exercised significant judgment in determining the appropriate accounting treatment. In the event authoritative guidance is enacted by the FASB, the Company may be required to change its policies, which could have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results from operations.

 

 

Cryptocurrency Mining Costs

Cryptocurrency Mining Costs

 

The Company’s cryptocurrency mining costs consist primarily of direct costs of earning Bitcoin related to mining operations, including mining pool fees, natural gas costs, turbine rental costs, and mobile data center rental costs, but exclude depreciation and amortization, which are separately stated in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

 

Reverse Stock Split

Reverse Stock Split

 

We implemented a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock that was effective on January 23, 2020. Unless otherwise noted, all share and related option, warrant, and convertible security information presented has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reduced number of shares, and the increase in the share price which resulted from this action.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock options, warrants and restricted stock to employees and non-employees for services, in capital raising transactions, and for financing costs. The Company accounts for share-based payments under the guidance as set forth in the Share-Based Payment Topic 718 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, officers, directors, and consultants, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. The Company estimates the fair value of stock option and warrant awards to employees and directors on the date of grant using an option-pricing model, and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in our Statements of Operations. We estimate the fair value of restricted stock awards to employees and directors using the market price of our common stock on the date of grant, and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in our Statements of Operations.

 

Discontinued Operations

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted net income per share if the exercise prices were lower than the average fair market value of common shares during the reporting period. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation when their effect is antidilutive. Basic and diluted earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders is the same for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, because the Company has only incurred losses and all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders at March 31, 2022 because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive are as follows:
